Ambient/Modern Classical

Brian's ambient album from 1982. Unlike most of Brian Eno's conceptually unified ambient projects, Ambient 4: On Land is something of a patchwork.

Small Craft on a Milk Sea’, Brian Eno’s debut album with Warp, is reissued for the first time since its release in 2010. Collaborating with guitarist Leo Abrahams and mercury nominated musician Jon Hopkins, the album remains Eno’s most successful since 1983’s “Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks”...

Themes For Dreams marks another left turn, finding Chicago-born and based musician, composer, and producer Will Miller at his most meditative, patient, and intentional. Across 13 gorgeous and strikingly cohesive tracks, the album eschews drums in favor of immersive melodies that float, dissipate, and linger. It's an album meant for rest, with arrangements so welcomely enveloping they feel like a warm blanket. While it's Miller's sparsest record yet, it still keeps his wildly collaborative ethos, enlisting guests like Marta Sofia Honer, Jeremiah Chiu, Macie Stewart, Matt Gold, William Corduroy, Molly Rife, and others.

Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks was written, produced and performed by Brian Eno together with his brother Roger and Daniel Lanois.

Glimpses Of Infinity is a peek into the very start of Laraaji’s remarkable catalogue – this album forms part of the bigger 4LP Segue To Infinity which was previously released on the label.

Following the jazzy library vibes of 2023’s collaborative Dolphin LP with Greg Foat and Moses Boyd, the venetian maestro Gigi Masin returns to the ambience for which he is renowned, with Movement — his first solo full-length since 2020’s Calypso, and his Sacred Bones Records debut. Fuelled by creative reinvention and rhythmic motion, he moves seamlessly between melancholy MIDI notes, technoid robotics, groovy liminal cloudscapes, and fathoms-deep ambient aquatics.
